Sale has a 3.03 ERA overall, but in his last four games, he is 1-2 despite a 1.54 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 41 innings.

The Mets' Class A affiliate in Columbia, S.C. already seems psyched to bring Tebow into the fold, and the Fireflies make sense for Tebow for a variety of reasons. There's likely more to it than that, too: Tebow shares an agent with Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, and Cespedes can opt out of his three-year deal with the club after this season. (more...)

And the contest saw the Blues, particularly in the first half, once again produce the sort of slick, passing football with which their new manager has for so always been associated.

Tigers right-hander Mike Pelfrey was activated off the disabled list and moved to the bullpen. Shoemaker was able to turn his head slightly to avoid a direct blow to his face but was unable to get his mitt up in time. By all accounts Shoemaker is expected to make a full recovery, thankfully. Eppler also shared that he spoke with Shoemaker's wife, Danielle, several times on Sunday and said she is 'a rock'. (more...)

They swept the A's in Oakland for a second time this season, a franchise first. Porcello (20-3) allowed two runs and six hits to become Boston's first 20-game victor since Josh Beckett in 2007. The Oakland offense, which has been held under four runs in six the first eight games in the stand, will look to solve James Paxton (4-6, 4.03 ERA) in support of Alcantara in the second start of his career.

He's a great athlete, he's tough, he always comes to fight. As a matter of fact, there are. Joe Rogan's post-fight interview with UFC 203 headliner Alistair Overeem was slightly weird to watch. The champion has fought into the championship rounds only twice, however, and he has experienced mixed results in those extra two rounds. After suffering his defeat at UFC 203 by the hands of Mickey Gall, CM Punk is now at a career crossroads, where he will need to choose between. (more...)

Prediction: If they can survive the brutal early season schedule - five of the first six opponents made the playoffs a year ago, and the other game is against the Bills, who swept the Jets in 2015 - they'll have a chance at the playoffs. Andy Dalton completed 23 of 30 passes for 366 yards, a touchdown and an interception. "This one was big". We make calls actually as the play is going on. (more...)

He really played a great game while he was able, constantly flushing Russell Wilson out of the pocket, and containing the outside runs. "Without question, he's great at it". And finally, Jimmy Graham is expected to play, but he is an unknown going into this game. He could easily take a rough hit and go out after registering a goose egg for your squad. (more...)

All three players are dealing with lower-leg injuries. The Patriots also did not bring starting left tackle Nate Solder (hamstring) and starting right guard Jonathan Cooper (foot).

The 21-year-old will now meet world number one Djokovic, Andy Murray's chief rival at Flushing Meadows, for a place in the quarter-finals. "Obviously I haven't played too much tennis". A big Isner serve got him to 5-6, and Edmund served for the match. The two players had met once before in a high quality second round clash in Miami this year, but it was the world number one who was victorious 6-3, 6-3. (more...)

Lester induced 10 ground outs on the day and was able to be impressively economical as his defense made play after play and helped him hold a no-hitter through 6 2/3 innings. The Giants collected just three hits in each of their two losses. He's one of just two starters to throw at least 350 curveballs this season and not give up a home run on the pitch. (more...)

Casey needed an eagle at No. 18 to tie McIlroy after his par at No. 17, but missed a 58-foot putt that would have forced a playoff and parred the hole. McIlroy, whose last win came at the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2015, shot seven birdies and one bogey to seal his 12th PGA Tour victory.

Alabama owes us that much. Kiffin took some shots this week, and he appeared ready to fire back last night. It is the seventh of Saban's openers to be played in a neutral site against team from another Power Five conference - the Tide have won all of those first six by at least double figures. (more...)
